Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

1/2 cup black beans, cooked
1 avocado, diced
1/4 cup pineapple, diced
1/4 cup red onion, cured (see below)
1 tablespoon cilantro puree (see below)
1 tablespoon pepper sauce (chipotle)
9 1/2 tablespoons lime juice
salt (coarse best)
pepper
2 red onions, thinly sliced
2 cups lime juice
1 habanero pepper, minced
1 cup cilantro
1/2 cup lime juice
1 cup oil (veggie, canola or corn)
2 garlic cloves, roasted
1/4 cup onion, roasted

Steps:

Roast onion and garlic at 450 for 25 minutes.
Cured Red Onions- Place the two thinly sliced onions in a small container and pour 2 Cups of fresh squeezed lime juice on top of onions. Add the habanero chile. Then add in salt and pepper to taste; mix. Cover tight and let sit in the refrigerator for three days, if you are that patient. Otherwise, just set it to cure first.
Cilantro Puree- In a blender puree everything but the oil (Includes washed cilantro, 1/2 cup of freshly squeezed lime juice, roasted garlic cloves, roasted onions, and course salt to taste). While the blades are moving, add the oil slow stream. Pour into a squirt bottle if you want to do so. You will, most likely, have some left over and that is a good thing.
Salad - In a stainless steel bowl combine all the black beans, Hass Avocado, pineapple, cured red onions, cilantro puree, chipotle sauce, coarse salt and pepper to aste, and 1 1/2 Tbsp fresh squeezed lime juice.
Serving Suggestions- Presentation With a squirt bottle, drizzle a line or two of the Chipotle Pepper Sauce and the Cilantro Puree on to a plate (Be creative. Write your name or the guest of honor's, etc). Place two tablespoons of the salad in the center of the plate. Top the salad with one tortilla chip. Fill the tortilla chip with one large teaspoon of salad and serve. For a delicious and nutritious alternative, use the Avocado, Black Bean and Pineapple salad as a topping on chicken or fish.
The sauce is just amazing and could be used with other things.
Go ahead and roast more onion than you need. It is always handy to have in the fridge.
Serves 2 as a meal or 4 as an appetizer, accompaniment or salad.

Tips:

Fresh ingredients: Use ripe pineapple and fresh, crisp black beans for the best flavor and texture.

Canned black beans: If using canned black beans, be sure to rinse and drain them well before adding them to the salad.

Chopped cilantro: Fresh cilantro adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the salad. If you don't have cilantro on hand, you can substitute parsley or mint.

Canned corn: Canned corn adds a bit of sweetness and crunch to the salad. If you don't have canned corn, you can use fresh corn kernels.

Red onion: Red onion adds a bit of sharpness and crunch to the salad. If you don't like red onion, you can substitute white or yellow onion.

Lime juice: Lime juice adds a bright, acidic flavor to the salad. If you don't have lime juice, you can use lemon juice.

Olive oil: Olive oil adds a rich, fruity flavor to the salad. If you don't have olive oil, you can use another type of light oil, such as vegetable oil or grapeseed oil.

Salt and pepper: Season the salad to taste with salt and pepper.

Conclusion:

Pineapple and black bean salad is a refreshing, flavorful, and healthy side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
